USA: 600 dollars a week unemployment benefits expire, and 20 million out of work ...

Why don't you apply for unemployment? You are eligible from what it sounds like. Self employed and lost income, you can get up to 20k going back to Feb 2.

Fuck another dog, dogfucker.

It all goes Doomsday in November of 2020.

This..they all went out and bought bikes instead of saving for when we all knew this would happen eventually.

Biden: “stopping travel from China is reactionary and xenophobic!”
Pelosi: “everything is fine! Visit Chinatown”
Entire democrat party: “Trump only stopped travel from China because he hates all immigrants!”

Your TDS is showing. Trump did all anyone could do, and he did it for everyone regardless of party. Look at the extreme measures he took to help NY, and the maggot Cuomo.

If you want to blame someone for the virus, blame China. If you want to get back to pre-coronavirus prosperity, vote Trump 2020!

I see Tar And Feathers...

Try 30 million, and that's a conservative number.

That does not mean the rich deserve handouts.
Just dont call these job creators capitalists if you approve of handouts.

Not true. In New York State the majority of the people are receiving $182, which is the minimum. It's similar in other states as well.

Shadow stats shows about 33% of the people are out of work. I wonder how many people had to get a lesser job. I got laid off in February and My benefits stopped two weeks ago and since the Gulf is dead I'm seriously thinking about doing some land surveying until next year.

every dollar store is hiring every walmart get a 10 hr job and quit bitching about your free ride being over - you dont need a brand new car to get to work either get a beater pay cash drive it like a man with no insurance too - save yourself a little cash dont get pulled over wear your seatbelt and make sure your lights all work -

Remeber the Alamo puto.
We kicked your ass then
And this time we will finish the job.

Question, my wife was laid off for one week and she files today for this week, so will she get the $600 extra or does it mean anyone laid off this week doesn't get it??

The government did not have to shut everything down. Not many could have prepared for that and I won’t blame them. The government can give money to bankers and big corporations. They better keep giving it to taxpayers until they open up fully and people can get back on their feet.

It’s a lot of money for some. Not enough for others. If it keeps people from breaking into homes and rioting then it is worth it. Government is always taking from taxpayers to give to big business. It’s time for them to give back.

Fixed it for you

Unfortunately, she just missed it. UI goes by week ending date, and for this week it will be 8/1.

What jobs? 9 dollar part time jobs? Or didn’t you read about more businesses going bankrupt putting more people out of work. There aren’t enough jobs.

Right, and even the $9/hr jobs have hundreds of applicants per position and they don't want you if you're 'overqualified' because they know you'll still be looking for something else.

Theft will go sky high. No one will be safe on the streets. Hire someone to protect you while you get the groceries to your car and home. There won’t be enough ammo to protect people from break ins. People will do anything to feed themselves and kids.

I could understand it if they had been hardliners all along the way- cutting out money to other nations, refusing money to bail out banks and corporations, etc., but all that is easily pushed through and we are into the trillions in debt- and they want to make the most vulnerable suffer. At least these people DID recently work. The welfare class will continue to get their cut too- and be assured of a section 8 roof over their heads.

One thing is for sure, I would never live right to work southern states like Alabama where employers have all the power and the workers are slaves.

Many very poor rural areas while the employers live in gated mansions.

And he we go , ANOTHER shit bag claiming the unemployment benefits are 'too much ' and ppl should go work at taco bell for 9 per hour. When the fuck will you ppl criticize the banks and the multi national corporations who got TRILLIONS?

10 dollars an hour is not enough to get out of bed for.
That is how much my uncle was making starting out in 1985 in a factory with no skills.

If they cut it off, you will see large tent cities forming.
I encourage the tent dwellers to shit on the rich and politician's sidewalks.

Short excerpt from that article:

"Trump and his chief of staff indicated just hours before the meeting that they were hoping to get Democrats to agree to a smaller deal on just two issues: unemployment benefits and preventing evictions.

"I think probably trying to resolve the enhanced unemployment issue, obviously," Meadows said, when asked about the goal for the meeting. "And so we want to go ahead and ... address the eviction provisions that hopefully will keep people from being evicted from the homes, at least through the end of the year, on both of those things."

Trump homed in on evictions while speaking from the White House saying that, "we’re asking Democrats to work with us to find a solution that will temporarily stop evictions."

But any attempt to get a short-term or pared-down bill was all but guaranteed to be rejected by Pelosi and Schumer, who have remained united during the days-long talks.

Democrats have repeatedly said they do not want a short-term deal or a smaller bill. "

you gonna eat a turkey in front of them and describe to them in detail what it taste like when they're starving?

Well, cutting in this category- for these specific people- makes them look anti-working person, anti-middle clas, anti working poor.

I have never seen so many job postings like I have lately. I guess the bums will have to get off their butts and start working.

So working for 20+ years to develop valuable skills and slowly increasing your income over that time to comfortable levels is now considered 'a free ride' and $10/hr should be plenty. Gotcha.
